“Peaceful Secession” Movement Won’t Give Us Two Americas, But What’s The Downside?

If secession could only be achieved by force of arms or a court decision, the “Peaceful Secession” movement would be futile. But “secession” need not involve brick and mortar barriers. The spirit of secession can be far more effective in dealing with a federal government gone rogue – it can stop it cold.

But as was the case in 1776, it seems that some who would be expected to come to the “Peaceful Secession” cause have not. Some self –identified conservatives actually seem to believe the only reason to sign a secession petition is because you REALLY believe doing so will bring about a new separate nation in North America. This is the narrowest view of the possibilities involved.

A successful physical secession, however unlikely, is only one reason for signing a petition demanding your state be allowed to “peacefully secede” from the United States. Aside from this, these petitions assure like- minded people they are not alone, which is a vital ingredient in any conservative movement. It promotes the strength in numbers we need to help ourselves.

The secession petitions also have much in common with the Gadsden flag, which bears a rattlesnake that gives warning before striking. These petitions ARE that warning…

Separating into two nations that are ruled by either party would totally shatter the false left-right paradigm. The Republicans need the Democrats to blame for their own big government, out of control spending, anti-Constitutional, and socialist ways. The conservatism of the Republican party is nothing more than rhetoric catering to a large segment of the populace. It’s never been more obvious over the last four years as Republicans sit by, and do nothing about Barry what so ever. The next four years will bring an even more inexplicably neutered Republican party.

Republicans are working hard to garner the coveted “buttwipe” award, and they have dam near achieved the same.

Conservatives on the other hand stand by their values and recall this Country is NOTHING without the Constitution and Freedom.

What freedoms has Obama taken from you?

Hey Marc, why don’t you start, what freedoms has Obama taken from you?

Should be easy coming up with a list.

An older post by you:

I don’t get it. Why did he resign? Who cares if he had an affair running our spy agency? Divorce sure, but why resign?

Because a person in such a position can easily be led astray and give up State secrets that could cost lives or compromise future operations. WWII was riddled with such occurrences.

Judge Napolitano says that states do have the right to secede

No, secession is not the answer to America’s problems, the Answer still lies with all of the 50 State Governors, they all have the power and authority to Nullify any and every Federal Law that has ever been passed that infringes on any of the Rights of the citizens within their respective States.
This is the power and authority given to the States by the 10th Amendment of our Constitution, this power to Nullify any and every Federal Law the Federal Government ever passed would literally neuter the federal Government where they would not be able to Control everything the American people do.

But this power the States have must be used before it is effective, and most of the State Governors seems to be fearful of using this power against the Federal Government because they believe the Federal Government’s threats of cutting off the States funding or making No Fly ZONES over a State that uses it’s power or authority against the Federal Government, but what the Federal Government is forgetting and hoping the people will also forget is that the States sends money to the Federal Government before this same money is Laundered by the different Federal Agencies then sent back to the States per the States request.

Simple answer would be for the States to stop sending tax dollars to the Federal Government to begin with. This is known as Starving the Beast. Then the Federal Government’s threat to withdraw funding is toothless.

I argee. This the best way to do it.

What a signature on a secession petition also accomplishes is the world now sees that we are not one with our government. Some will see this as a bad thing. I see it as good. It puts the leader of our government on notice along with the leaders of other governments that whatever our leader may promise or give to another government can and probably will be undone in four years. This in it’s own way stops our government from “giving away the kitchen sink”, and though it keeps us in a “holding” pattern it also doesn’t place any more downsides on us as Americans.

look at the map says there are a lot of red states that do not go along with the blue states . we need to get rid of the electoral vote system . the system has gone past its intention. we need to get our senators to start working to change this system now not days before the election. the electoral vote does not tell the truth of the voters
